Neil and Del only made progress when they cooperated , sharing resources and driving shifts. Planes, Trains and Automobiles

In the film, Neal’s tightly controlled world falls apart when every mode of transportation fails. The lesson? Don't get married to your original itinerary.

If you have ever felt like Steve Martin’s Neil Page—trapped in a cycle of canceled flights, broken-down rental cars , and questionable motels—you are not alone. The 1987 classic Planes, Trains, and Automobiles remains the ultimate tribute to the beautiful, frustrating mess that is holiday travel.
